Exclamation Problems Upgrading to 10.4.11 Please Help!

I am having some problems with installing the 10.4.11 update for Tiger. I downloaded the update from Apple for Intel and I followed all of the instructions posted on the thread "[HOW TO] Seamless upgrade from 10.4.x to 10.4.11 + Security Patches, Two easy-to-use scripts to streamline the upgrade process" from InsanelyMac. Everything worked flawlessly until I tried to install the update on my drive. When I got to the point where it asks what drive you want to install the update on, all of the drives had "Red" exclamation points on them and it read that those drives did not meet the requirements for the update?
Is it because I downloaded the smaller update from Apple (128mb)? The other version was larger if I chose it from "about this Mac", that was over 330MB. I am not sure what I have done wrong..maybe someone here can give me a hand?
Thanks

Okay I see allot of lookers, but no one seems to know what my issue is, so I do have one more question. I am under the impression that you can not upgrade from 10.4.6 to 10.4.11 without downloading the combo package that includes all the previous updates since 10.4.6 is this correct? If so then I have a great deal of bandwidth to burn.
Thanks.

Yep, you're attempting to upgrade using an update designed for 10.4.10

You need to download and use the full combo update from Apple.

Angry Update was a no go

Well I installed the update and did everything as instructed and when I went to reboot it hung with all kinds of kernel panics. I booted back up with the boot dvd and repaired the volume permissions and that got rid of most if not all of the kernel panics, but the system just hangs and will not boot. I took a picture of the screen to see if anyone can figure out what I did wrong or what I am not doing right. Thank God I made a backup of the volume before I did the update. Any help would be appreciated..thanks in advance!

Almost got it fixed

Okay I managed to get it down to only one kernel panic and I am totally stumped as to what it is the system is referring to. I have no idea weather it is a driver or the CPU. I have gone beyond my limited ability to fix this error, so I am again asking for a helping hand. Screen shot is included..sorry I only had my Instinct to take the photo, so it may be a bit fuzzy.

Second Try and still Kernel Panic

Okay I reinstalled Tiger 10.4.6 and updated to 10.4.11 Combo for Intel..did the necessary backup and restore of my kernel and rebooted..and still the same thing..Kernel Panic! I have searched just about every post on every site I can think of and I still can't find any reference to this particular error:

panic (cpu 0 caller 0x0019C352): Unresolved Kernel trap (CPU0,Type 14=page fault), registers:

CRO: 0x8001003b, CR2: 0x7a052d82, CR3: 0x01919000, CR4: 0X0000006E0

Backtrace, Format-Frame: Return Address (4 potential args on stack)

Unaligned frame Backtrace terminated-invalid framepointer 0x36863989

Now that is all the information I have and it looks to me like memory errors...not sure, but back in the day I do remember seeing these particular address errors before...any ideas ?

Well that's all folks...I give. I have tried 10.4.8, 10.4.10, 10.4.11 Combo Updates following the backup/restore Kernel method and nothing works. I am at my wits end. I guess I am just stuck with 10.4.6, it is stable, but I can't use any of the newer updated applications for Tiger, they require the updated version that I can't install. I suspect it has something to do with the version of OS X I am installing. Jas OS X 10.4.x plus updates 10.4.5 and 10.4.6 using the Semjaza v1.2 Decrypts. This is the only copy of OS X I have and it does work well by itself, but for some reason updating it any further is a total impossibility.

If anyone out there has a solution to a "fool proof" updating fix, please feel free to let me know. I will not try to upgrade to Leo until I can at least get Tiger roaring instead of meowing.
